Got to bump this up.   There could be someone out there that might want to start reading through all 654 pages.   Ha Ha Ha

Seriously, someone should just start the Cliffs Notes version of this thread.

Cliff notes:

Nebraska, Colorado, and A&M are all bitches who are afraid of Texas.  Mizzou is maybe that way also.  TCU likes money.  K-State owns the conference.  Olive Garden is good, Prince of Persia is decent. 

And despite the hilarious yet misguided best efforts of one goEMAW amateur architect/graphic artist, lowering Boise's field would actually not lead to worse sight lines.

You are wrong, my friend. It is a physical impossibility to lower the field and not have worse site lines. IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! :shakesfist:

That graphic completely misrepresented the distance between the front row and Boise's field, thus making it invalid.   :sdeek:   :surprised:





was pretty fracking hilarious tho

Hey Stew. At what point does Missouri become the crazy-stalker girl who is sure you made eye contact with her and have always desired her? Is it time for the conferences to take out restraining orders? (But don't worry Mizzou, your old loser boyfriend will still take you back).
-- Johnny, Austin

This may come as a shock, but I didn't run into a great deal of crazy-stalker admirers during my bachelor days -- but yes, that's pretty much the perfect analogy.

Missouri is a fine school, one that's produced some very good journalists -- and Jon Hamm. Gary Pinkel has done a remarkable job with the football program, winning at least 10 games in three of the past four seasons. But Missouri fits the SEC about as well as Stephen Garcia would a dry county. The SEC is about 90,000 seat stadiums and rabid fan bases. A ranked Mizzou team had 13,000 empty seats at its opener. The SEC is about fourth-generation Alabama and Ole Miss alums in khakis and sun dresses. Mizzou is in the Midwest, where the folks like their hoodies. The SEC is about parking your RV at the other team's stadium five days before the game. Columbia is a 16-hour drive from Gainesville. And no disrespect to Pinkel, but those 10-win seasons came in part thanks to being a member of the now-defunct Big 12 North. In the SEC Missouri would likely join the West, with Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and LSU. Hello, Shreveport.

And yet, there are apparently a bunch of powerful people in the state of Missouri who think this is a wonderful idea. Or, as one anonymous school official told the AP: "That's what's left," now that it's abundantly clear the Big Ten isn't interested. That was a regrettable thing to say without being guaranteed the votes from the SEC. And while many at the school are surely loving the attention Missouri is getting right now from making the Big 12 wait indefinitely on a decision, the Big 12 won't prosper or suffer either way. Its future was ensured the day Texas and Oklahoma agreed to sign over their grants of rights.

I don't think we've reached restraining-order territory yet, but I wonder how many times Missouri has had to ask, "So you'll call me, right?"

i know i'm forgetting a crap ton of stuff...but the best pages of this thread(this year anyway) had to have been when it came out that everyone was not giving up rights to sue A&M. I was refreshing twitter and this thread every 5 sec. That hour was amazing.

oh man, when KU said they weren't giving up rights and their journos all tweeted that they thought that was a mistake because KU had very good options and it must mean KSU...wow.  I mean

yes. any clue as to what pages? i'd like to take a stroll down memory lane.

But if Missouri leaves -- and as of this morning the prevailing theory was that the Tigers were still focused on joining Texas A&M as the 13th and 14th members of the SEC -- the Big 12 would make a move to go from 9 to 12 teams with Big East members Louisville and West Virginia as the prime schools on their wish list. Such a move might also happen even if Missouri remains.

The SEC might have one back up plan if Missouri decides to stay. Word is spreading throug the SEC that Clemson may come into play as team No. 14.
The Tigers are more of an SEC fit than ACC fit in many ways. If that happens, the ACC will be forced to go for a 14th team. The first choice would be Notre Dame, but if the Irish still want to remain as an independent than UConn comes into the picture.

But the prevailing wisdom right now is that Missouri will likely be headed to the Big 12, which would set Louisville and West Virginia into motion.[/quote

I don't know.  But I think if Missouri had an offer, they would have formally withdrawn by now. 

They don't have an offer, though, and that's why I think our presidents and Neinas are all really confident that they'll stay.  They know that every day that goes by the less likely it is the SEC will make a move on them.

Clemson has been getting some run lately though.

"It's PACerson" was definitely my favorite LOL.  Another good one was last year when when our school was about to fall into the abyss with no conference home, and our president was out enjoying an evening at Olive Garden and a movie, and SkinnyBenny referred to it as "The Ron Prince of Persia".
